Name me one team that has won a championship with a bunch of 1st and 2nd year players, with no superstars. I'll wait. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marco102 Posted July 1, 2019 Report Share Posted July 1, 2019 I guess this is why Milwaukee gave up Brogdon. You know Bud loves the vets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weren't you in another thread talking about how it's basically impossible to win with so much youth? Now you're upset that Schlenk isn't trying to contend this season? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Popular Post JayBirdHawk Posted July 1, 2019 Author Premium Member Popular Post Report Share Posted July 1, 2019 We are 2 hours into FAcy - we have no idea what our opening night roster will be. At least wait for FAcy to play out. I've already pointed out we signed Dedmon (2 weeks), Len (3 weeks) after free agency started, the Lin trade was July 11th, 2018. 4 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spud2nique Posted July 1, 2019 Report Share Posted July 1, 2019 Can we take a second to laugh at the Nets. I think the Knicks actually dodged a bullet. The Nets aren’t thinking. No Durant year 1. Kyrie and an aging Jordan. I dunno. This feels like Brooklyn 2013 trade that brought in KG and Pierce. Mark my words, they brought in two mentally weak a$$ “superstars”. It ain’t gonna work.

We actually knew about Dedmon and Len early in the free agent process. Some of us were even talking about targeting both. There are no such prospect like that this year.

When healthy he may be the best player in the world. If not he's top 3 for sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of us were even talking about targeting both. There are no such prospect like that this year. That's not true: I only looked up Dedmon Quote THOMAS DUFFY JULY 11, 2017 Ten days after the start of free agency, a deep pool of talent remains available. Many are lesser-known players seeking to fill niche roles. Take Dewayne Dedmon, for example. In 2016-17, the San Antonio Spurs chose the 27-year-old 7-footer over Boban Marjanovic, who sought a bigger payday (and got it with the Detroit Pistons). Dedmon made a hair under $3 million and opted out of his player option for 2017-18. Things have been pretty quiet surrounding the big man, but that was somewhat predictable. In 76 games, Dedmon contributed a career-high 5.1 points, 6.5 boards in 17.5 minutes. Again, that was his best. His per-36 numbers—10.5 points and 13.4 rebounds—jumped off the page, though, so it's not like he'll be waiting much longer. https://www.google.com/amp/s/syndication.bleacherreport.com/amp/2720926-nba-rumors-latest-buzz-on-possible-carmelo-anthony-trade-dewayne-dedmon.amp.html 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warcore Posted July 1, 2019 Report Share Posted July 1, 2019 I'm fine with BKN capping out with KD added to Kyrie... kinda gives us a good chance that the BKN pick will be around our lucky #19 since we know KD isn't playing this year, Kyrie replaces Russel, and Jordan is kinda like Allen... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In year 2 with Durant they will be a top contender in the east. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In year 2 with Durant they will be a top contender in the east. Perhaps. But it's not a foregone conclusion that turmoil won't emerge there this season with Kyme at the helm. I'm expecting Atkinson to be in trouble just like Stevens was. Let's be honest, he's a good tactical coach but, just like Saint Brad, he's never dealt with any player with enough clout to challenge him. Not saying he won't be able to handle it, but it's also not safe to assume he will. If he fails, he'll be fired and we don't know what the state of things will be by the time Durant returns. On top of that, we can't assume he won't take half the year just getting up to speed mentally ... then physically... then production-wise. Long story long, to suggest we should pause on pencilling the Nets into the '20-21 Finals is not simply based on butt-hurtness. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
